Newcastle vs Man City – Premier League Betting Tips

Struggling Newcastle will welcome the hot EPL title defenders, Man City, in what looks like a punishment match for them. 

Newcastle has been struggling for form, and after their game vs. Liverpool in the midweek, they face Man City that Obliterated Leeds United 7-0 in the midweek. They have only won 1 game in their last 6 matches in the EPL, and this shows just how bad they have been.

Man City are the EPL defending champions, and they are playing like defending champions. They have won many of their EPL matches this season, and these wins are mostly humiliating to their opponents. 

Will Newcastle avoid humiliation this weekend or stop Man City? We don’t know, but here are tips for this match. 

Newcastle Form and Team News

Newcastle has been in terrible form throughout this season, winning just 1 match, drawing 7, and losing 8. Their run of poor results has seen them sit at the 19th position, conceded 34 goals, and just scored 17 goals. 

Their last 5 games in the EPL have seen them win just once, lose 2 and draw 2. This bad run of form hasn’t gotten any better even after sacking and replacing their manager.

Newcastle team news only has Fernandez Federico, who will be missing this match. 

Man City Form and Team News

Man City has been excellent in their matches this season, and they look like retaining the EPL title second season in a row. They had played 17 games in the EPL before this match, won 13, lost 2, and drawn 2. 

Scoring 40 goals and conceding just 9 have seen them occupy the top of the league with 47 points, although they have Chelsea and Liverpool on their heels. 

For the team news, Benardo Silva has pulled out halftime, and it looks like a muscle injury, so we can’t say if he is available for this match or not. Torres Ferran is still currently injured and should miss out on this game.

Our Tipsters Angle

Manchester City is looking unstoppable in their pattern of play. They have no focal man, which means that any person can score. The scary thing about this team is the too much wave of talent abundant even on their bench.  

Newcastle has been struggling since this season, but they have a history of being giant killers and is very capable of causing an upset. 

Below is our tip for this match:

Tip 1:  Man City -1 Goal 

Newcastle has made it a habit to lose by 2+ goals in all their matches against teams in the top 6 in the league this season. They have been struggling even though they are showing signs of improvement in their gameplay, but things aren’t working out for them. 

On the other hand, Man City has won by 2+ goals against teams in the bottom section of the table, and we think there will be a repeat of such an outcome. 

Man City -1 goal handicap is available at the Casumo sportsbook at 1.50 odds, which is a good value for this bet.

Tip 2:  Man City to Score Over 2.5 Goals

Asking Newcastle to defend against Man City might be too much to ask of them at this moment. In their last game, Man City battered Leeds 7-0 and has scored 3+ goals against big teams this season. 

They have almost all their full squad fit, and Kelvin De Bruyne has started firing again, and that only means Newcastle might concede 3+ goals in this match.  

Also, the previous 5 matches between these teams have seen Man City score Over 2.5 goals in 3 of the matches. 

Man City to Score Over 3.5 goals is available at the Casumo Sportsbook at 1.74 odds. 

Conclusion

While this match might not be the fascinating EPL match of the weekend, it still has great importance attached to it. If Man City is to drop points against Newcastle, it might put their title hopes to ruins, which they are avoiding. 

Newcastle is currently struggling, and we don’t see them stopping the on-fire and in-form Man City side.
